Windows thinks it owns the serial port hardware (insert the usual
MS jokes here). There is an easy way to avoid that, by not starting the
GUI. See MS docs on hidden text file msdos.sys to include line bootgui=0.
Nevertheless, Windows tries to present a simulated serial port to MSK.
If that port is consumed by some Windows app then things won't work and
you will see that Unknown hardware message.
